Porsche Design 1919 Datetimer Eternity Watches Hands-On
During Baselworld 2016, Porsche Design debuted a totally new collection of watches known as the Porsche Design 1919. Here, we look at the Porsche Design 1919 Datetimer Eternity models, and what all 1919 collection timepiece share is a new case design which has a solid, skeletonized lug structure. The Porsche Design 1919 Datetimer Eternity is interesting because, in addition to wearing quite large on the wrist, the legible and lume-rich dial has a very definite “modern Panerai” feel that I don’t think I would have liked in theory, but in execution looks quite good.I joke with the people at Porsche Design that their entire brand theme is “black and titanium.” In a big way that is true, and for the most part, this is what many of their timepieces heavily emphasize. For example, most of the 1919 Eternity watches are technically part of the “Porsche Design 1919 Eternity Black Edition” collection… which, of course, feature titanium cases.
Corum Admiral's Cup Challenger 44 Chrono Rubber Limited Edition Watches Hands-On
I think Corum hit on a great idea with these limited edition Admiral’s Cup Challenger 44 watches. The basic idea is simple, to create bold, friendly looking versions of the Admiral’s Cup watch, just do it in as much brightly colored rubber as you can. These watches are each two toned and very enjoyable to wear. The steel cases are rubber coated, the strap is rubber, and the bezel is in rubber. Another key element in the design is that they are just two tones with really good contrast. It is like a toy-version of a high-end watch… but certainly not a toy.The watches are available as limited edition pieces. If all goes well, Corum plans on making new colors available each year. For 2011 the available limited edition pieces are in red, blue, and white. Little nod to the US flag? Maybe! Each of the watches will be limited to just 100 pieces.
